We all have stress. Some of it we put on ourselves by looking for doom and gloom in the future or obsessing about past events. Even if we are able to focus on the
present, external events or other people seem to add stress into our day to day lives.
One Source EAP maintains a keen focus on stress relief and we constantly teach methods to reduce stress. From square breathing, guided visualization and Drumming Away Stress, to our Calm Collection video series, which offers 13 different ways to reduce stress in about 3 minutes.
Managing stress when it happens, is a start. However, we need to proactively prepare ourselves to start each day without stress and know how to avoid letting external stressors impact us so much. This is great self care which starts with the three basics to prepare our minds and bodies through good nutrition, exercise and at least 7 hours of sleep each night.
Beyond the basics, there are additional ways to bring calm into your day. Try practicing one or more techniques to train yourself to better respond to stress inducing events and people. Get started with the 7 Habits of Calmness below.
If you’d like help decreasing your stress to achieve consistently calmer days, One Source EAP can help with 24/7/365 access at 800-300-0628.
